Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 308 winchester 220 grain partition

Not yet,waiting on a bullet puller and some more 200 grain bullets, I'm gonna test all the 200 grain bullets from the 308 i can find.

Also just got my 308 back from the gunsmith:
Chopped to 20" and open sights installed.

Soon, very soon.....

Will get numbers on expanded diameter and weight retention tomorrow. Will post up pictures tomorrow.

30 caliber 180 partition and 220 partition penetrated exactly the same distance: 11 inches of spruce board. Both bullets expanded nicely, in great shape.

.338 225 gr partition failed to expand and drilled right through. Very little damage to the boards. Good ole discount blem bullets!

.338 225 gr fusion penetrated about 10.5" of spruce board. Much larger diameter hole in the boards and more damage, over the .308 bullets.

And surprisingly, the .338 interbond penetrated the furthest! This bullet made it to a little over 12" of board and showed the earliest expansion in the boards. Diameter of the hole and damage to the boards was even better than the .338 fusion bullets.
